Getting a start to the holiday smoking orders. This is only the beginning and each of these is 20lbs+. Thankful my side hustle is a part of many family traditions!

The deadline for placing your Thanksgiving orders is next week!! Don't miss out! 2020 has caused us all to miss out on so much ... for many of us, we will also be missing out on seeing dearly loved family and friends ... all in the name of health & safety. If you are wanting a whole bird, please do us both a favor and let me know by Wed or Thurs. That way I can get your bird picked up and start safely thawing it.

For Thanksgiving, I will need to hear from you by 5pm EST on Thursday, 11/19. We will work out the pick-up/delivery details when your order is received.

We have a lot of orders already in the smoker, so thank you for those! If you think you have sent me your order, but have not received an emailed confirmation, then I don't have your order (yet). Also, orders range most every type of meat, which makes it even more fun for me! Yep, there's plenty of turkey, but also some brisket, salmon (hint-hint -- I have starting smoking salmon with orange wood and the results are divine!), even some pastrami, ham and pulled pork! Whatever you're wanting or needing, we can take care of you! If you're wanting to have something that is a simple heat-and-eat for Black Friday, I'm your guy! Wouldn't a few slabs of ribs in your belly for Friday dinner make those aching feet feel better?

Again, for Thanksgiving, I will need to hear from you by 5pm EST on Thursday, 11/19 -- a week before the big day. We will work out the pick-up/delivery details when your order is received (hint-hint: we will be home this year on Thanksgiving Day!).

Turkey for Thanksgiving:
The most popular is the pan of 100% smoked turkey breast. It will be sliced to your specifically requested thickness (perhaps some thicker for dinner and some thinner slices for sandwiches). Many opt for a whole bird because they’re tired of dry breast meat (you won't believe how moist our breast meat is!!) or simply like dark meat. For that reason, we also offer whole turkeys.

Sliced Smoked Turkey Breast (per the attached menu):
Small pan feeds 8-10 = $50
Large pan feeds 16-20 = $80
Whole Turkey (not sliced):
9 up to 12lbs = $50
12 up to 16lbs = $60
16 up to 20lbs = $75
20lbs and up = $85

And new this year, designed for those who won't be participating with the big family/friends gathering, but keeping things small and social distanced ... Two pounds of Smoked Turkey Breast for $35

Double-Smoked Honey-Glazed Ham
Most come in the 9-12 lb size, so we're going to stick to what is readily available for $50. Please compare with HoneyBaked Ham. You'll be amazed at the savings and impressed with the quality!

As always, best value is found by ordering from the attached menu, but we also have the smaller packages listed below available. That is all ....

2-Pack St. Louis Style Ribs:
Two (2) meaty slabs of BBQ ribs for $35. As usual, these ribs are bigger than you'll get in a restaurant, very tender, smoky & sweet.

Tender Smoked Brisket:
This beefy treat cooks low & slow for approx. 16 hours, which makes for an incredible tenderness, juiciness and smoky-savory taste! And ... this comes with a heaping helping of Burnt Ends!

Smoked Salmon
This has been a very popular item, and is only becoming more popular! Salmon filet is prepared with olive oil, garlic, fresh rosemary, other nice flavors, and just the right blend of mild smoke. Great warm or cold and absolutely perfect on crackers with cream cheese! $15 per pound (as a point of reference, a whole filet usually runs 2.7 - 3lbs). Talk about nom-nom!

Pastrami
We appreciate the raves ... several have said this is better than Shapiro's. Wow! That's high praise! You can have it too for $18/pound. We have a very small amount of pastrami presently available. First come - first served!
NOTE: Pastrami takes an entire week to make, so late orders may not be ready for Thanksgiving.

How do I order?
I need to hear from you by 5:00pm on THURSDAY, 11/19/19. Email, phone or text ... they all work! Pick-up will be Wednesday 11/25, the day before Thanksgiving Thursday or Thursday morning on Thanksgiving Day, 11/26. If that doesn't work for you, contact me and we'll make more workable arrangements.

Thanks for your ongoing support and also for spreading the word about Lay Off The Sauce! BBQ!! If you like what we're doing, please connect with and then recommend me on Facebook and LinkedIn!

Many people ask about our experience judging BBQ. One consistent observation I make is regarding the incredible amount of detail competition BBQ cooks observe when prepping and cooking competition meats. Here is a good video by one competitor that details all that goes into the trimming prep of competition chicken thighs. Many cook teams will prep and BBQ 12 or 18 thighs in order to pick the six or seven that are the best. That's a lot of work!

Happy New Year to all! It's been awhile since this page has seen any activity ... my fault ... but here in the time of fresh beginnings, that may change!

Let me start with a comment about one of our most frequently requested items, Smoked Salmon. Our salmon is smoked to order, like everything is, and runs $15/lb. The normal filet is 3 lbs, but we can adjust to suit your needs. Some have commented that $15/lb. seems a bit steep. Well, it's salmon ... have you seen what it costs? I just saw a link to another meat smoker who charges nearly double that amount, but adds a bit of wild rice. Hey, we'll add rice too if you wanna pay double! 🤣😉

Let us know when you're ready for salmon (picture of ours is below), ribs, or any other smoked delicacy!

Whew! It was another fabulous and huge Thanksgiving for Lay Off The Sauce! BBQ! Thank you for all who made us a part of your holiday gatherings! This year was a bit different because, while turkey was still king, we also prepared a lot of other items. A lot of brisket, salmon, ribs, and even pastrami for all those football gametime sandwich snacks! That tells us folks are still traditional and yet willing to stretch those traditions a bit!

There is now the push to Christmas. Many call qnd say, "Hey! Do you have any ribs (or, fill in your favorite) on hand?" The answer is sometimes YES but often NO, since we cook to order. Regardless, can you imagine how wonderful it will be to pop something in the oven after a long day of running around and have fresh hot deliciousness on your table in just a few minutes? Order ahead so you can be ready for those days! Don't wait for an email!
